An Exceptionally Attractive Early 18th Century George I Period Highly Figured Walnut Chest, Of Extremely Rare Diminutive Small Proportions, Having Quarter Veneered Top, Pull Out Leather Inset Brushing Slide And Four Long Drawers, With Replacement Old Brasswear And Featherbanded Decoration, Raised On Original Shaped Bracket Feet.

Constructed in the relatively typical fashion for an early Georgian chest of drawers it features very rare and not often found small proportions, which in combination with the rich colour and surface and highly figured walnut veneers, combine to create a beautiful and well made piece of early 18th century english furniture.

The chest ahas replacement brass handles which are old, and almost certainly of the exact type which would have been in place when it was first made. It also retains its original bracket feet, not something many chests of drawers which are over 300 years old can claim.

As mentioned above the size is also incredibly rare, you just don’t find many antique chest of drawers this size, especially ones that look like this and remain in such fabulous condition.

This wonderful early 18th century georgian english chest of drawers is quite simply a beautiful piece of antique furniture, whilst also of course being incredibly practical and functional for modern day living. In fact it is just as functional today, in the 21st century, as it was the day it was made, in the 18th century.

As with all items which we offer for sale this chest of drawers has been through our workshops, where it has been attended to by our highly skilled, well trained, traditional antique furniture restorers who have inspected it and given it a natural wax polish to ensure it is in top condition and ready to be placed straight into the home before being offered for sale.
